Hi Alan,

//Hello Alan,//
on *19.06.22* at *15:04:51* You wrote in area *POINTS*
to *All* about *"newsgroups"*.
How do I download the list of newsgroups?
I hear you can add them with areafix.
try
%LIST
on your boss node's areafix and hope that she/he/it carries some newsgroups :)
sometimes software packages like Winpoint create areamgr requests automaticly if you include echolists (lists of echos that can be requested from the bossnode)
but you also can manualy write an areafix or areamgr message.

so your bossnode is 1:229/426
so you can write a netmail to:

push the poll button and wait some time before the next poll.
Probably in the next session you'll receive a response from your bossnodes areamanager
The line
-$- WinPoint 407.0
indicates, you're using WinPoint 407.0
Go to Winpoint's menu: Fidonet - Echoarea Management
probably in the left window you have a list of echos available. You can select / doubleclick echos to get them to the right window. You can also press the %LIST button. Once anything changed the Send button becomes selectable.
Press the Send button and the request goes to your bossnode.
If the left window of the Echo Area Management is empty, you first have to frequest an echolist from your bossnode.
Within Echo Area Management window - select menu: Areas - Add Area List to include the echos list from your bossnode.

Daniel PATH
